Before we joined the SEC, I rooted for Florida. I have a lot of family in Florida. I liked Tebow as a player and I liked that they had a star player with the same last name as me. Unfortunately, that player was Aaron Hernandez and we know how that eventually ended up. Oof.
I lived in State College for a bit, was engaged to a Penn State alum who I share a child with, and have several friends that root for Penn State and invite me to games/tailgates, so I root for them too. What I really want is for A&M and Penn State to play each other, whether in the postseason or home & home.
This postseason, I am on the Miami bandwagon. My cousin lives in Miami and roots for the Canes. She and her boyfriend, also a Canes fan, work in sports media and have been getting special access during their run. She visited Aggieland for the first time for the CFP game and was just at the Cotton Bowl. She has been sending me some cool pics and videos from the field and the sidelines. Her group was very complimentary of our fanbase and the atmosphere at Kyle, especially considering the early game time and the cold wind. One of her coworkers (smoking hot Cuban) jokingly said "What is wrong with you guys!? Why are you all so nice? We came here looking to talk **** but we can't because you all are saying Welcome and Good luck!" If they make it to the title game in their home stadium, they are getting me a ticket. And if they win, that party is going to be INSANE. So GO CANES!
